Week 11 good to WOW SOOC Flowers

I don't have any flowers in my yard, but my sister-in-law did and the hotel we spent the weekend did, so after 700 pictures I have narrowed it down. It helps that I took all of them on manual mode and forgot to check my ISO for 42 pictures, so I have 42 completely white pictures of Daffodils on ISO 1600--they looked great in the view finder. After that I did get better at checking my histogram each shot.

I actually narrowed it down to 8 different pictures and had my friends at my Real Life Blog help so I could follow the rules this week.

I have this same color crocus in my yard. :) It was hard not to choose crocus photos because I've taken so many lately but I wanted to pick photos I hadn't played with yet. Can't wait to see what the result is for your crocuses.

What is this blog?

I am strictly an amateur photographer with 3 kids and a brand new D-SLR. I am finding that the best way for me to improve my photography is to participate in photo and photo editing challenges. But I don't want to saturate my real life blog with my photo attempts, so I started this blog for a place to post photos (blogger makes it sooo easy!). If you are interested in learning more about me and my adorable children, feel free to visit my real life blog.
